Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
how do you make your cod? I like to baste it in olive oil, lemon juice, lay onion rings on top and sprinkle paprika on it.

I dislike cod so much. That’s one of the fish that was in a seafood box I had delivered monthly, for about 6 months straight that’s all they shipped me.

Fried cod in fish tacos maybe. But any other preparation and I’m out.

Gimme that ‘but any day of the week though !!
 
I'm already signed up

Edit: meaning I tried to go sign up but was already in the group from I think when they first suggested doing an app. I'd forgotten
I hope I get chosen. I signed up but haven't heard back and haven't gotten the badge like @cdemoss01 has.
 
Are leopard wrasses reef safe? Yes yes I can google as well.
Yes they are! I have one and it's super active and not shy at all after the initial settling in period.
 
I don't even have the badge lol
I thought that was why you have the r2r research badge. I don't engender seeing it with your name before but I could have just not noticed it.

What badge?

That's if you conduct an experiment and post it on the R2R research forum.
 
Can't you leave your helper at work? You'll need at least 40 minutes, 20 for temperature acclimatization and 20 for drip acclimatization.
i think I have a plan, I'm gonna have him ride with me, get them, then drop me off and take my truck to get parts and come pick me up again. Should give me just enough time! Best I can really do..
